Collaborating since 1984, Susan Mazer and Dallas Smith create some of the finest contemporary instrumental music available. Their compositions merge the aesthetics of jazz, classical, and world music into an experience that feeds both the intellect and spirit.

Circle of Life is an especially unique recording that was created over the course of one full year, during which time Mazer and Smith lived intimately with the melodies and harmonies of each piece, wanting to express the ephemeral moments of life that are at once profound, fragile, and transformational. The result? An album that extends beyond the boundaries of genre, offers richness in melody, rhythm and sonority - plus hours of musical enjoyment!
